URC Sugar

URC SURE (Sugar and Renewables) is comprised of two major divisions, namely: the URC Sugar Division and the URC Distillery. One of its ventures is in the renewable energy business. It is registered with the Department of Energy as a renewable energy developer of biomass fired power cogeneration plant and as a manufacturer of Bio-ethanol. The power cogeneration plant, located in SONEDCO, Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental, provides 46 Megawatts of power to the national grid using bagasse, a by-product of sugar milling, as fuel.

The URC Distillery engages in the production of fuel-grade anhydrous ethanol suitable for gasoline blending. It currently produces 100,000 liters per day of fuel-grade ethanol.
